It's only a scan sorry but when it stops raining I'll try and get a decent pic of it :) can't believe our mint can't do coins like this that are basically bullion as it sure does dazzle the eye :blink:

AJ, it's known as an American Silver Eagle or ASE for short.
Very nice coin. :)

Nice coin! I love these.  I have a full set in a Dansco album 1986-2015!

Give it to me and no one has to get hurt Matt :laugh2:
But serious, has the dansco affected the coins yet as I have heard the cardboard isn't good for them.

It isn't the cardboard.

Its the fact that the album design is useless for keeping the air out. You may as well leave the coins sitting on the kitchen bench for all the good the album does.

Well, maybe not, but you get my drift.

Maybe if you stuck the album in a space bag and sucked all the air out, but I think those bags are made of PVC. :(
